Alex, The FAQ *very* briefly describes part of what the Eclipse plugin does. 'How can I create a Pivot project in Eclipse?'
The main thing to note is that it is not a BXML editor. It creates Eclipse launch configurations for certain .java and .bxml files. It allows you to select a java source file that implements org.apache.pivot.wtk.Application and launch it via Run As -> Pivot Application. You can also launch .bxml files as 'script applications' by selecting a BXML file whose root object is either a org.apache.pivot.wtk.Window, or a subclass of it. This should show up as 'Run As -> Pivot Script Application' Example of a BXML file with a Window as the root object http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pivot/trunk/tutorials/src/org/apache/pivot/tutorials/hello.bxml Example of a BXML file with a subclass of Window as the root object http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pivot/trunk/tutorials/src/org/apache/pivot/tutorials/lists/list_views.bxml http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pivot/trunk/tutorials/src/org/apache/pivot/tutorials/lists/ListViews.java Chris On 1 August 2011 12:00, Alex Ryzhov <[email protected]> wrote: > I have another annoying issue: can't make Eclipse plugin to work.
